Dean Stockwell


How adorable was young Stockwell in this film as Grayson's son?

reply

I just had to amend my own post..Stockwell played Grayson's nephew, not her son...I remembered that because after he introduced Clarence and Joe To Aunt Susie, they kept calling her Aunt Susie throughout the rest of the film.

He WAS adorable, especially in the little sailor hat.

Clouds have silver linings, but every year, hundreds are struck by lightning searching.

I think Stockwell was THE cutest child actor in that era. He actually grew up to be a good looking man also. I don't think he had any of the usual teenage problems, but I must look him up now. I believe he still has an active career.

I love it when he says to Gene Kelly, "If you don't help me what'll I do? What's to become of me!" It's so melodramatically cute...

reply

Yes, he still works,but he didn't have a child-to adult star transition on the level with a Natalie Wood or an Elizabeth Taylor, but he has worked prettily steadily as an adult actor. He even received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for MARRIED TO THE MOB.

He was also on _Quantum Leap_ where he, for me, easily stole the show from an excellent Scott Bakula.

I LOVED him on the show "Quantum Leap," he was excellent in it. I don't think he's ever given a bad performance.

I totally agree tho, he was a gorgeous little boy who grew up to be quite attractive too.

He was an adorable little boy. and a handsome man. good actor. glad he is still working.
